Good
The Freshman Play
October 22-23, 29-30
Agassiz Theater
Written by C. P. Taylor
Stage Directed by Daniel Gidron
Music Directed by John Baxindine
Produced by Rusty North
The Premise: An annual event, the freshman play this year is C.P. Taylor's tale of how an ordinary, "good" intellectual German man, John Halder, lets himself be turned into a Nazi. With professional guest director Daniel Gidron (Women on Top, Mere Mortals) and Guest Equity Actor Diego Arciniegas.
What to look for: Certainly, the intensity of the questions the play asks. As Gidron says, the play is all about "responsibilit,", and the way that we "often fool ourselves about our role as the Everyman." And despite the play being set in '30s Nazi Germany, the play has "as many implications for today as back then." Look out too for the riotous German tunes, which lend a tone of absurdity to the dream-world of John Halder.
The Buzz: The raw enthusiasm of the first-years mixed with the seasoned know-how of professional devotees of theater, promises nothing less than a night of sheer chemistry, set to a play that promises both extreme comedy and horror.
Starring: Diego Arciniegas
